I hope you will check in with us with an update about you and your husband. We have all, in our own personal ways, tried to help. I never thought if you needed help to follow through what we offered by yourself. I hope that maybe you can find someone help you through these steps if you and your husband feel not capable of doing them by yourself. I know sometimes even trying to do them can be overwhelming. Maybe your adult children can help you in that way. I am so glad that you have children and...

I never thought if you needed help to follow through what we offered by yourself. I hope that maybe you can find someone help you through these steps if you and your husband feel not capable of doing them by yourself. I know sometimes even trying to do them can be overwhelming. Maybe your adult children can help you in that way. I am so glad that you have children and grandchildren and their love.
I know sometimes I need an advocate to help me too at times. I have been through difficult experiences in my life and I do understand how you and your husband are physically reacting to it. It is very shocking, especially when we are getting older to fall in such circumstances. I know that if we can help ourselves things can get better.
I hope your husband also can apply for a disability too. I know no one wants to do that and I definitely hated doing it but sometimes it is something you HAVE to do. It would be very hard on him I am sure. But the economy is very difficult and much harder now for people with chronic illness to find work with the old incomes and health plans.
I hope you are both doing better. I am sure that things will get at least better if not perfect with time. Major life chances can be very hard on us. But one thing you can depend on in this life is that life changes. It is the one constant.
We are all rooting for you and hope you will check in. It appears that we have a connection to you and your husband.
One more suggestion. It is ok to find a mental health clinic that will work on a low scale payment system to get help and maybe you can get some meds for anxiety for you and your husband temporarily. There is no shame in it. Sometimes it can protect us from other physical and emotional reactions to intense stress. I know your life is hard and I do feel empathy. I have been there and done that in my life. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
I lost my job 11 yrs ago at the age of 44. After two yrs of searching, my husband was diagnosed with kidney disease stage 3, now the late stages of 4, I stopped looking to care for him, now he is also sight impaired. But the first thing I did was apply for food stamps and asked advice on help with our diabetes. We both have type 2 diabetes. After that we went to the county hospital to see what they might be able help us with. Also if you neuropathy, Social Security, I have been told, won’t...

Also if you neuropathy, Social Security, I have been told, won’t turn you down. Check with your social services, and your church, if you attend.
